Even more books, books, books.
I set a personal record this year - or multiple personal records, if you take into account the amount of snacks I ate at home and the number of hours I spent on my couch. But the record I’m looking to highlight here is how much I read this year. After reading 40 books last year and 62 the year before that, I went and read 64 books over the past 52 weeks. These are those books. *dun dun*
